Özet

Purpose: Patients in intensive care units (ICU) are often exposed to prolonged immobilization, which, in turn, plays a vital role in impaired functional status. Exercise with an arm cycle ergometer (ACE) could be a treatment option to minimize the harmful effects of immobility. This study was aimed to investigate whether using ACE is a safe and effective intervention for preventing or attenuating the decrease in functional status in critically ill patients.
